1. Step one Fold a square piece of paper diagonally into fourths.

2. Step two Unfold the paper fold the corners into the center (the intersection)

3. Step three Flip the paper over and fold the corners to the middle again.

4. Step four Unfold the paper it should look like the picture to the left.

5. Step five In the corners (blue) draw four different types of weather.

6. Step 6 In the red boxes draw 8 different emotions. Since sometimes emotions are hard to differentiate also write the emotion.

7. Step 7 Finally, in the middle you can see 8 triangles. Draw a bomb, a star, three sad faces L and three happy faces J

8. Step 8 Re-fold the paper (you will need to flip the paper so that the emotions are face up. Then fold the square in half and slide your thumbs under the four flaps. You can rotate your hands (bringing your thumb and index fingers together)

9. Step 9 Find a partner and ask them ”What’s the weather like today?” Your friend, in complete sentences will pick weather that they want. Move your fingers to match the letters (S-U-N-N-Y) means you move your fingers five times.

10.Step 10 Then ask your partner how they are feeling. Flip over the option and see if they get a smiley face, sad face, bomb or star. The star is worth 2 points, the smiley face 1, the bomb you lose all your points and the sad face is worth no points. The goal is to get to 10 points!

This activity is easily adapted to any grammar skill or drilling practice. If you want to have students practice second conditional change it to students drawing what they would do with a million dollars etc. Depending on how well students follow directions you can give them a blank template so the folding it easier. It also helps to draw a sample on the board, but you risk students copying it directly so I like to draw it with some blanks (like above) to encourage creativity.
